Description: "A serial killer has found a home in Maine's largest city of Portland. A lethal sniper's deadly aim has the women of the city wondering who will be next. Even as he lines up his next target he begins to wonder if he can wait for his next victim. Detective Jack Chamberlain, direct descendant of civil war hero and former governor Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, is the detective in charge of catching and bringing to justice a nemesis that taunts him after each murder. With the help of his partner the brash Clarita Sanchez, they begin to gather the meager clues left behind. But the sniper is watching and purposely leading the detectives down the path he has designed. Like a hustler's game of Three Card Monte on the streets of New York City, the sniper leaves a trail of misdirection. But Chamberlain has his doubts and so a game of wits ensues as murder rages through the quaint port city."--Page 4 of cover
